Last week I chatted to Young Gun of Wine about our unique approach to Chardonnay at Ocean Eight and the birth of our Verve Chardonnay.
Thanks for the feature @rorykent.

Huge weekend - great to be able to show our wines again 👊
#WineNews June 1 is the first day lock-down restrictions were eased, allowing wineries to re-open cellar door sales and restaurants to have a limited number of sit-down customers. @TheRealRvw Cc @DeBortoliWines @nswwine buff.ly/37c7xDX

One of our biggest days in cellar door today. Thank you to everyone for your patience. We loved showing you all our wines. Great support from you all. 👊🥂
Get @gunsnroses ‘civil war’ on tonight. @realDonaldTrump band together
Why don't racist, nationalist, protectionist, misogynist, despotic, militarist, authoritarian, grandstanding governments ever, ever look at history.
This is how it inevitably ends.
My sad, sad heart goes out to all who suffer.

#ChardonnayDay Chardonnay is as great as it has ever been! - As long as it has been well crafted from vineyard to glass. Will enjoy every last drop of this 👊

I’ll get our first case study through as soon as I’ve finished watching Joe Exotic on #TigerKing #WTF is going on there?? 👀
I’m talking about a base level to be able to critique! Of course they must have access to a wide range of wines. I think we need to get a few case studies through for perspective on all this. I’ll do one from our winery and hopefully others will jump in.

Few people who work in vineyards or wineries get to taste the range of different wines that conscientious critics do. Both experiences are valuable, but a critic's exposure to a wider range of wines is most valuable to me, assuming he/she is well informed/trained. @oceaneight
This is a disconnect between vineyard (growing) and winery (production). How did the season play out? I want to taste idiosyncrasies in the finished wine. told by a skilful journalist. 5Five ⭐️ or 95pts pretty deflating for producers after working your 🏀 off.

But winery experience varies a lot. I've worked in small wineries. But in a big 25 k ton factory you aren't learning winemaking - it's manual labour. You might just be doing yeast adds for three weeks
So wine writing is alive and not dead (or stale?)
Glad to hear the sherry industry has a future.

And a LOT of eating 😂 Thanks, Tash. And agree that you don't need to have topped up sherry barrels in person to be a sherry expert like you
Very big apologies for stirring this up. Final Click 🥂

Yup. Basically click bait. But, hey, we all fell for it.
